"I'm doing my promo, typical heel stuff, everyone's booing. Some dude hits me in the eyeball - it hit me hard. It pissed me off. And I was like 'Alright, alright, you want to throw stuff at me? Everyone go ahead. Everyone start throwing stuff at me - come on. What do you got?'…There is a snowstorm of these DX glow sticks. There must have been one hundred. I remember being like a ninja, like Sugar Ray Leonard boxing them out of the way." "After the show, I was told that Stephanie McMahon wants me fined and she wants me suspended. Well Stephanie's not my boss. I don't give a shit what Stephanie wants - you can tell her that. I called Vince and cut a promo on his answering machine. I said, 'I got heat out there. This is my job. This is what I'm here to do. At the end of the night, the babyface beat me. What's the problem? You're going to fine and suspend me for getting heat? Bring it on motherf***er'" "Vince just texted me back with a little smiley face saying 'calm down junior'. So the next day, at the Garden, he didn't even mention it… He said 'There's no problem". www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/05/chris-jericho-recalls-stephanie-mcmahon-once-wanting-him-654434/

I get why she was pissed, telling fans to throw shit in the ring is not one of Jericho's brighter moments, even if he was trying to get heat out of it, but if it wasn't her call, I can see why he'd be annoyed at her getting on his case.

Yeah, I pretty much understand why Stephanie would be pissed.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFf9u63q6WsYeah, I get not wanting fans to throw things at the ring, but at the same time, I feel like Jericho just played the card dealt to him at the best of his ability. It's worth a slap on the wrist at best.

Chris Jericho at 48 reminds me a lot of myself at 15. Just saying all kinds of bullshit to sound cool to your buddies.

Yeah, I pretty much understand why Stephanie would be pissed. Yeah, encouraging people to throw stuff into the ring isn't the brightest idea. You never know what they're going to throw, if it will injure one of the employees, or somebody in the crowd gets nailed.

It's an easy way to get marks to buy more merch?

It's an easy way to get marks to buy more merch? True. But it is an even easier way to start a riot or lawsuit. All it would take is one fan missing the ring and hitting another fan or child, and the chaos would begin.

I definitely get both sides here. Throwing something as hard as glow sticks would pose a safety threat to not just Chris but other employees at ringside (even if they were only outside of the actual ring.) But the 'suspension' part sounds too harsh. Unless the worst had happened, as in anyone other than Chris Jericho gets an eye taken out, then technically that would've been Jericho's fault.

If this was Earl Hebner he would have collected up all the glow sticks then sell them out of his back of his car

I can't imagine leaving Vince a message like that, but I think that separates stars like Jericho from the others that don't make it to his spot-He dares and Vince respects that.

In his book he mentions the same exact story of the fans throwing the glow sticks but Stephanie never wanted to fine him or suspend him, the only thing that he wrote about was Triple H telling him that they could’ve gotten sued.

“I cut a promo on his answering machine.”
Is it possible for a wrestler to sound like a f***ing mark?

“I cut a promo on his answering machine.” Is it possible for a wrestler to sound like a f***ing mark? Didn't Stone Cold once cut some promo-type voicemail to Christian back in 2001, and that was the whole origin to the "What?" catch phrase?

I was at this show. It’s one of the greatest things I’ve seen live at a show. So I’m with Jericho on this one Steph sounds like a grump.

"So, I told Cody that I didn't give a shit about what he, Brandi, Nick, or Matt wanted. They are not my boss; Tony is my boss!"

I can see "Calm Down Junior " being a new Vince-ism we use when a thread is made about how we hate a creative decision the company has made.
